Principal Investment Strategies
<div><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">The Fund invests in equity and fixed income securities with an emphasis on equity securities.

In these instances, the value of an investment could decline and the Fund could lose </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">money.

Interest rate risk is the possibility </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">that interest rates will change over time. When interest rates rise, the value of debt securities tends to fall. The longer </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">the terms of the debt securities held by a Fund, the more the Fund is subject to this risk. If interest rates decline, </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">interest that the Fund is able to earn on its investments in debt securities may also decline, which could cause the Fund </span><span style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:9.02pt;;">to reduce the dividends it pays to shareholders, but the value of those securities may increase.
